Meet little Gus, the cutest bat on the block! Real bats may not be so cute in your own house (and I know – we had one in the attic once) but this little softy will fit right in.
You can find Gus’s paid crochet pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.
My tested crochet pattern makes an amigurumi bat approximately 4 inches tall when using the yarn specified and is crocheted continuously in the round.
The 6-page digital PDF pattern is in English and uses U.S. crochet terms. Multiple pictures are included to guide you in the process.
